Praise Preamble

orchidee



Tune: Engelberg

('All praise to thee, for thou, O King divine')

Psalm 106 v.1-5

*******

Praise you the LORD, O give thanks to the LORD

For He is good, and faithful to His word

His mercy endures even evermore

We can trust in Him sure

 

Who can utter all the LORD's mighty deeds?

He comes unto us, satisfies our needs

And who can show forth all His praises here?

Yet we to Him draw near

 

Blessed are they that keep judgement and justice

And thy that always do righteousness, this

Pleasing to the LORD, he will such bless

'Tis true, we do confess

 

Remember me, LORD, with your favour, grace

Visit me with your salvation, I trace

Your goodness, make glad the nation, so we

Join to praise your glory

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 10.10.10.6. metre. The original has a long 'Alleluia' as the last line of each verse. I changed it to a 6 syllable line. The title says 'preamble' because most of the rest of the Psalm is not on such a happy theme.
